Some lunatics decide it’s a pretty good idea to go to war. One batch of lunatics is led by a man named Four Vagina. Four Vagina thinks it’s a good idea to employ a teenager, (with a GIRL’s name) with no control over his emotions, and no experience in combat, to pilot a tank, shaped like a man, that can fly, in the hopes that his flying tank skills are better than the other side, who, coincidentally, also fly tanks. Obviously this goes very well, for our heroes and for our viewers, until the story hits a brick wall, by trying to juggle too many characters at once. Also it introduces a series of thoroughly unconvincing romantic subplots between the aforementioned teenage lunatic and stand-ins for Tomino’s mistresses. Eventually, things devolve into a kind of trainwreck that only the GENIUS Tomino can produce, where everyone starts acting so out of character that you wonder what their original characters were even supposed to be. There’s a scene where one robot impregnates another robot with its metal spike, so I guess it’s a masterpiece.
